You will make one gift for them all, the big ones and the little.” “One gift for all! Impossible. How then?” “T tell you. It is this way: One gift, A Columbia Graphophone, with those Columbia Records which make the so perfect music,— songs of Christmas, of the Opera, of the Vaudeville,— music of all instruments. Stories that make the entertainment, the drollery. Me! I laugh with pleasure at the thought.

We don’t ask you to pay cash for your Holiday purchases. Buy your Columbia outfit from any dealer or at our stores in all the large cities and pay when the burdens of your Christmas expenses are past.
